Endovenous Laser Therapy
 Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) is an alternative to varicose vein stripping that utilizes a thin laser fiber that is inserted into the saphenous vein through a small incision near your knee. Pulses of energy are delivered as the laser fiber is slowly pulled back along the length of the vein which results in the vein closing off. An anesthetic will be administered along the course of the vein which will render the procedure virtually painless. Because only a small incision is needed to insert the laser fiber into the vein, there is no scarring and you will be able to return to your normal daily activities immediately. Following the procedure you will wear a compression stocking for 2 weeks to help ensure that the vein remains closed. The procedure takes less than an hour and you can drive to and from your appointment. Our extensive experience in catheter-based interventions allows us to treat smaller and tortuous veins that would normally not be treatable with this minimally invasive technique.
